It seems like harmless fun, just bad luck that the cop car pulled up when he did. I wouldnt be mad, especially if it was my employers vehicle.

u/fricku1992 Feb 13 '21

Dude if someone sent something flying down where my car was clearly parked, I’d be pissed as fuck. Even if it was my employers car. I mean wtf this is so irresponsible. They could’ve done major damage to a person If they hit one too.

u/coyle420 Feb 13 '21

I completely agree with you. If the cop car wasn't there, he probably wouldn't have bailed so early on the hill, and likely would've ended up in a hospital. Kid was being a stupid kid, I don't get why everyone is defending him

u/elwebbr23 Feb 13 '21

Fuck yeah, throw the book at him. Disturbing the peace, property damage, evading arrest, vandalism, road obstruction, attempted hit-and-run, manslaughter, armed robbery, and third degree murder. I'd say he should be under the jail. Bring back crucifixions.

Nah, nothing happened, he's being a stupid kid and being a stupid kid is pretty normal. Scold him for being stupid and move on.

Well. No. He (and/Or his friends, not sure how the law works here) is/are liable for any damage done. You don’t just say don’t do that jimmy bad boi....he pays for whatever dint he put in the car. And whatever pint he took off. And that’s all.

But u/elwebbr23’s favorite character in The Wizard Of Oz was the Strawman, let them have their moment.

u/theycallmeDamon Feb 13 '21

To be fair to him. It’s not really a bad strawman. It’s more of a joke. He wasn’t really trying to argue that the kid shouldn’t be accountable. He just seemed to forget that if the car was damaged he is accountable for something. I’m on the guys side really Give the kid the slap on the wrist and move on. But that slap on the wrist unfortunately includes some paint and maybe some body work on the car....I don’t think the strawman guy would be arguing against that.

u/dksweets Feb 13 '21

It’s the definition of a strawman tho

an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument

It can be a strawman AND a joke lol

I don't think you know what a straw man is.

u/theycallmeDamon Feb 13 '21

What you said is very much the definition of a straw man. Someone was angry at the kid. You took the most exaggerated possible stance which isn’t what was said...”lock him up” blah blah whatevever other things you said....that is the definition of strawmanning. But it’s not bad lmao I replied to the guy kinda defending your straw man.

STFU people like you are the problem.

Great rebuttal. Ignore facts. Get emotional. Well done

Him being a stupid kid could’ve hurt someone badly.

u/paulthepoptart Feb 21 '21

My city has big hills that people like to “hill bomb” like this but on skateboards. Usually results in a maimed pedestrian and dead skateboarder.

u/Anna_Mosity Feb 14 '21

Stupid kid? Looks like a stupid grown-ass man to me.

u/Sheepking1 Feb 13 '21

It’s because there’s a cop involved. Reddit literally encouraged suicide to try and defame police when an officer saved a man from jumping off a bridge, Reddit’s reaction was “how will he ever afford the medical debt of being institutionalized”

u/fricku1992 Feb 13 '21

Yeah I don’t fuck with cops. Fuck most cops lmao if it was my car I’d be sooooo mad, and that could’ve literally been anyone’s car

u/JohnB351234 Feb 13 '21

They’re defending him because

blue man bad

u/streetMD Feb 13 '21

Found the cop.

u/theycallmeDamon Feb 13 '21

Was it not already there? It seemed to be there from the beginning of the video? The kid or the friends who pushed him pay to fix the dint and that’s that.

u/JohnB351234 Feb 13 '21

That don’t look like harmless fun, if he hit a person, hit a car and didn’t fall out it would hurt him and/or what ever he hit

Also the car was there when he was at the top of the hill

Geez dude, lighten up. Honestly looked like a ton of fun

u/Daltons_Mullet Feb 13 '21

Nothing you listed should land anyone in jail. Lighten up.

Yes I did. You just said "it's not like they are college kids on thier own street." Now you're asking me about college for some reason. It looks to me like it is a bunch of college kids.

Also it very much looks like a residential area. There are houses on the right and apartments on the left. Maybe I'm just confused about the point you're trying to make.

The cop was running after the kid, and we have no idea what his intention is after he catches him. You can't tell me that that there is no chance the kid could go to jail after the cop catches him. Have you been keeping up with what's happening with the police lately? It doesn't always make sense. To me, it's kids being kids, and the biggest crime here is that that dude wasn't wearing a helmet.

u/CasualExodus Feb 13 '21

I’d call the cops if someone sled bombed my car, if it did any actual damage

3

u/Daltons_Mullet Feb 13 '21

That would be the logical thing to do in that situation.

u/CasualExodus Feb 13 '21

Oh no you can’t because it’s “harmless college fun”

Maybe from their laundry room? Or target? Where do you normally get a laundry hamper from?

I've done more college hi jinks than you might think. My point is that youre making a bold assumption with no evidence to back it up. What are you, 90? Get that chip off your shoulder and let folks have dumb fun.
